Natsu and Gray never got along great. Everyone knew that. They would fight in the halls of the school, or at basked practice. They also fought a lot outside of school. At the mall, in the park, sometimes even in the messenger group chat at two in the morning. Not many knew why they didn't just avoid each other.

The answer was their friends. Both Natsu and Gray had the same group of friends, who they hung out with a lot. The friends didn't like the fact that they fought, but they didn't do much to stop it either. In fact, some of them sometimes joined in on the 'fun', mostly Gajeel and Jellal, much to the distaste of their girlfriends, Erza and Levy.

No one knew the reason of their fights, except for their best friends, Juvia and Lucy. Lucy knew the exact reason as to why Natsu always went after Gray, and Juvia had bothered Gray so much, that he finally told her. The boys had huge crushes on each other. And since neither thought that the other liked them back, they fought, as they saw it as the perfect way to look, touch and talk to the other without making it obvious.

But now, their friends were done with their fights.

"But Luce!!! I don't wanna!" Natsu said, trying to make himself heavy as said girl dragged him along the floor's of the school, the two of them heading for the cafeteria. Lucy had voiced an idea, and Natsu didn't like it. Not one bit. "But Natsu. You really should talk to him you know, like a normal person." Lucy said, slightly out of breath. Her friend was no feather.

"No way!" Natsu said scared, his attempts to escape still just as strong, if even stronger. "Gray and I had a big fist fight in the park yesterday, and he will probably just punch me again." Lucy sighed. She didn't want to tell Natsu why they had to go to meet Gray, but if he didn't start working with her she would have to use her secret weapon. They got to the doors before Natsu started whining like a baby, drawing attention to both of them from the rest of the students in the hall. Lucy sighed and turned her head, her shoulder dropping down. "Fine. I wish I didn't have to do this, but you give me no choice.

Natsu stopped whining and looked at his best friend for years as she grabbed something from her back pocket. Natsu gasped and stared at the bacon flavored gum in her hand. "Now Natsu. I got this from the internet. If you go in there and sit down like a normal person and look right at Gray without punching or insulting him, then you get this. Okay?" Natsu nodded eagerly, before racing up and practically running past her.

Once Natsu was seated beside Gray, and the two of them had nodded peacefully to each other, their hands flew out to their best friends, the two of them saying the exact same thing. "Now? Do I get it?" The two looked at each other but ignored it when they each got something in their hand. Natsu his bacon gum, and Gray his double creamed mint chocolate cookies.

And while the two boys were distracted Levy silently nodded to Erza, who nodded back. Erza then snuck behind the two unknowing boys and snapped something onto their wrists.

Smack!

"What the hell?!" Said Gray.

Click!

"What are you doing!?" Asked Natsu in a worried tone.

Erza only grinned and returned to her seat, her boyfriend Jellal holding up a pair of keys. "We are tired of the two of you fighting every single day. So this is our solution. These," He said, and pointed to the pair of handcuffs around their wrists. "Are real handcuff's, borrowed from Ezra's dad in the police department, and can only be unlocked with this key."

Levy nodded. "That's right. And none of us are leaving until you two work things out. Now, to get things started. Gray, Natsu called you dumb. Natsu, Gray called you weak."

The two boys turned and looked at each other before they started punching, one arm only since the other was of no use. Lucy hung her head low and groaned. "Why did we think this would be a good idea again?" Juvia shrugged. "Don't know. But I guess Gray is happy." 

Lucy nodded and looked over to her best friend. "Yeah. Natsu too." Levy and Erza shared a look. "What are you two talking about?" Levy said. Lucy and Juvia took one look at the boys before smiling evilly. "Well," Lucy started. "Natsu and Gray have been crushing on each other for a long time now, and they fight because they don't know how to say it." Juvia nodded. "Yeah. And we were the only one who knew, but now you do too."

By now Erza had gotten an evil glint in her eyes. The other's backed away from her, even Jellal. They could practically see the devil horns on her head. 

Without a word she got up, walked over, and grabbed both boys by their necks. "Gray, is Natsu cute?" She said bluntly. "w-what?" He said, blushing. "Do you think Natsu is cute? Yes or no Gray." Gray looked down and mumbled something under his breath. "What was that?" Erza said.

"Kinda," Gray grumbled a little louder. "I think he looks kinda cute." Natsu blushed by this statement and relaxed in Erza's grip. "Really?" He said. Gray looked up and meet Natsu's eyes. He then proceeded to nod. "Yeah." 

Natsu's lips stretched out into a grin. "Well, I think you are pretty cute too." His voice was pretty vavery, but he still had the grin in place. Gray blushed harder and opened his mouth, but shut it again when he had no idea what to say. 

Levy noticed and skipped over to them. "Now, kiss." She said, and pushed their bodies closer. Since they till had one arm cuffed, their free arms went around each other, their noses touching. Both boys had red faces, and their bodies were frozen in place. The sound of a camera going of could be heard in the background, but the two guys didn't listen. 

Natsu leaned closer and closed the gap between them, pressing his soft, warm lips to Gray's sligthly colder once. Gray's dark blue eyes widenes, before closing with a soft hum. Natsu's free hand went to Gray's hair, where his fingers tangeled into the raven locks. Gray placed his hand on Natsu's hip before deepening the kiss, taking controll. He licked Natsu's lower lip, asking for premission. Natsu grinned into the kiss and kept his mouth shut. 

Gray growled and bit the other once lip, making him gasp. Gray took the opportunity and shoved his tounge right into his partners mouth. Natsu moaned and moved his handcuffed hand to grab Gray's other, twining their hands together. 

Lucy and Juvia giggled and high fived. The two girls were happy for their best friends, and that they could now have some peacefull time as a group. Now the only problem was to separate them.
